《Watson&Holmes》Case1 Four Families - ch22
Advertisement
When returning home at Baker street. Aside from James Moriarty, said he would wait. There are still three other guests waiting for the landlord with anxious gestures. Seamus Blake, Travis Smith, and Scarlet Rosevelt.
"Mr. Holmes! We waited for you for a long time! " Travis barge in.
"What happened? Mr. Smith!?!"
"Osborne Livingston is a murderer !!!" Travis Smith furiously toned difference from his calm, quiet attitude. The brown eyes are roughly like to grab Osborne's neck now.
"Yes, I know." Sherlock Holmes is nodded in a calm gesture. "But how are you ..."
"I ... tell him."
A small voice lightly likes whispering but makes everyone hear clear. Detective Holmes, looking at Seamus, rose from the seat with eyes different from before.
"I ... remember ... all."
Seamus said slowly, green eyes that had been lifeless had tears but saw a strong light tried to live.
"That day, Osborn ... Livingston ... there."
"Don't know if it's because of the poison we got or not. At the church suddenly, Young Master called me. And tell everything about that day." Travis help explain. Because Seamus just said for the first time after the story, it seems his tongue cannot move as he would.
"Young Master said that day Osborn Livingston came. There quarrel with the master. Then two small devils kill master and mistress. About to kill young master too. But Osborn Livingston stopped them and left."
"Mr. Holmes, if you knew, then inform Scotland Yard to arrest that bastard. The evil killer who killed Master and Mistress ... Including Mr. Redmond Rosevelt! "
"Please sit down—both Mr. Smith and Seamus too. I will tell you what happens. "
Sherlock Holmes said. Looking at Scarlet Rosevelt, even though she keeps quiet, her gaze at him is the same as Travis. Both angry and resentful when the villain who takes away the most important person in life becomes someone close to you. Only James Moriarty sat still with a face like he was waiting to watch the play.
So, Holmes tells the story that happened. Start when he found Osborne Livingston's evidence, to the set traps when Osborne picks up treasures from the little ones. Testimony of the cause of death of related persons since the age of the father. Including the sudden earthquake and the area collapsed into a deep hole, swallow Osborn to disappear.

"The earth swallows up... no, this is like ... the devil has come to claim life," Travis said with a stunned expression when he realized that Osborn was no longer in this world.
Sherlock Holmes was unable to dispute Travis' words about the devil. The scene which he and Watson saw with their own eyes at the place. In the presence of a hole deeper than 10 meters, the specifics must have taken place at that time. In the second, when everything was resolved. He still couldn't find an explanation of the real cause and effect.
"Or is it because of the red characters? The stigmatism of the devil?" Scarlet says of the redness that appears on the skin of Malcolm and Livingston.
"I think that's not the stigmatization of the devil. But it's a contagious disease," replied Sherlock Holmes.
"On that island, your father must have been infected. This disease takes a long time to incubate. It reduces the immune system in the body until it becomes easier to get other diseases. And in some cases, it may affect the mental state as well. But this is just what I deduced, considering Mr. Norville Malcolm's father and Mr. Smith's father, who was seriously ill to death. Including Mr. Jeremy Lane, who is currently very sick."
"Dad ... often coughing, the medicine, not work," Seamus said, and Travis nodded in confirmation.
"What about three treasures?" Asked James Moriarty.
The detective nodded, put his hand into the cloak, take out a gold ring and a diamond necklace on the table. After the earthquake stopped, he and Watson took a closer look at the pit and found only these two things that were surprisingly within reach. No sign of the crown, which is the most valuable of the three treasures. If he said that the devil had fulfilled the promise by taking the most valuable thing. It is up to people to believe, as well as to say, that because the crown was heavy, it fell.
Sherlock Holmes sighed. The ending of this case is even more mysterious than the case itself.
"If you were to assume that the devil had taken the crown, which is the most precious item in the contract, I think these two things belong to you two."

Sherlock Holmes speaks to Scarlet Rosevelt and Seamus Blake, direct heirs. There was an awkward silence because everyone here knew that this treasure had brought a great loss.
Suddenly, Seamus Blake reached out to pick up a gold ring with a pink diamond in everyone's surprising eyes. The boy's face was so calm as when he hadn't spoken. Then Seamus handed the ring to Travis.
"Eh?"
Travis blinked in confusion but did not accept the ring. Seamus saw it and slowly raised his mouth.
"Take this ring to propose to Scarlet?"
"Young master! What did you ... say?"
Travis sputteringly questioned. The sudden words made him unable to continue, didn't dare to look in the eyes of the other name who was alluded. Seamus continued with a flat, emotionless face. Only a look of honest eyes showed sincerity.
"Travis likes Miss. Scarlet. From the beginning."
"How do you know!?! err, put that aside, Young Master Seamus, why suddenly ... said this ..." Travis stared in the eyes of the boy he loved like his real brother. Although the criminal got the punishment, he was surprised that Seamus quickly adjusted his mood after not speaking for a long time.
"I ... what happened ... with my parents. It's so bad. I dream about it for many more nights. No way to forget it all my life, but..." Seamus turned to Scarlet, his cheeks twitch as if trying to smile "... But it will have to pass. The future ahead will be beautiful and better. There are beautiful things in the world. If I stop hoping ... there will be nothing left."
The tear of joy overflowing in Scarlet's eyes. She smiled and nodded to Seamus. Glad that her words had reached Seamus, give him hope as her brother did to her.
Now, Sherlock Holmes understands. When he and Watson went to Travis and asked about Scarlet. Travis said Scarlet was force herself. But at that moment, Seamus shook his head. The boy was going to convey that it was not suppressed. But Scarlet was enduring with hope. Because she believes that bad things will pass for the better.
Watson, who had not made any comments, looked at Seamus, the human, same eyes color as himself. The eyes he himself thought were more like a doll's eyes than a human being. But now, the eyes are fully human. The green color of his eyes were so beautiful that he was surprised how fast it change in no time. Once again, he thought human beings are different from dolls like him. They have complex emotions that are difficult to understand.
"I hope for a happy future."
Seamus turned to Travis. The ring in the boy's hand was still handed over to the man who is like a brother ... or father. Travis stares deep into those eyes, took the ring, and stepped on his knees before Scarlet.
"Miss Scarlet Rosevelt, the first feeling I have for you is the impression of beauty," said Travis, as if fate had a joke, the one who led him to meet Scarlet was Osborne.
"I chose to keep this feeling because I knew that our statue was different. But these past few days make me realized the beauty within you. You are a gentle, strong heart, and full of hope ... Scarlet Marry me ... choose me."
"I..."
Scarlett looked down at the man making the greatest request in the woman's life. She smiled and gently held Travis's hand.
"I like your eyes when you look at Seamus. That gaze was so gentle as if looking at a very important little one, instead of your normal courageous posture. When you saved my life ... I secretly hoped. Hopefully, you look at me with those eyes ... and now I can see it."
Sherlock Holmes looks at Scarlet and Travis embraced each other, creating a warm, loving atmosphere that spread throughout the room. Never had a client who hired him and ended up proposing in his home before. He thought if they were happy and started their new lives, it would be a good thing.
Scarlet gently left Travis's embrace, a man she agreed to live with him forever, and picked up the diamond necklace that was her treasure. She carefully wore a necklace around Seamus' neck with an affectionate gaze.
Perhaps this will be the beginning of a new family.
